C++ Promise Objects Confusion

Why is it hard to teach and learn C++: "Promise objects are in no way related to std::promise" Each coroutine is associated with • the promise object, manipulated from inside the coroutine. The coroutine submits its result or exception through this object. Promise objects are in no way related to std::promise. • the coroutine handle, manipulated from outside the coroutine. This is a non-owning handle used to resume execution of the coroutine or to destroy the coroutine frame

A programming meme contrasts the confusingly similar names of C++ coroutine promise objects and std::promise. The punchline is that the two concepts are explicitly unrelated, highlighting how difficult C++ terminology can be for learners.
